Q: After I restore my files to my Macintosh OS X machine, some or all of my restored files and or or folders have "Do Not Enter" signs, and when I try to open the files and or or folders, I receive messages that I "do not have sufficient access privileges."

Answer

This can occur when your files were backed up using a different user ID from the user ID you performed the restore with. Ownership of, and/or permissions of the files will need to be changed by a user with the administrative rights on the machine. Administrators who need advice on which flags to adjust may send a request to helpdesk@mit.edu, mentioning TSM Backup in the subject line.
